It's dark inside."

/2/ Secrets 

Sometimes, protecting the ones that you love means keeping secrets from them.

Kim Sojung cannot lie, she keeps many secrets to her loved ones, and that includes her members. But she has reasons. She doesn't want her kids to get hurt. Just like now, another secret.
